What is the reason the subcontractor is not accepting new orders? Availability of furnace slots.
The existing painting subcontractor refuses the new part number. I will explain the reasons based on the available slots and the color change system.
Despite being a long-time outsourcing partner, only new item numbers are being rejected. It is not due to price negotiation; it is a capacity issue. ────────────── ■Cause of Occurrence The production capacity of the painting factory is determined by the number of batches processed per day in the furnace. When the schedule is filled with regular orders from existing customers, new orders cannot be accommodated physically. ■Truth As new colors are added, the setup for color changes increases, further reducing the effective capacity. Factories with tight capacity have no choice but to prioritize existing products with higher unit prices. The reasons for rejections are not explained, leading to misunderstandings that it is a pricing issue. ■Improvement Measures Aligning new colors with existing ones increases the likelihood of acceptance. If capacity still does not open up, a secondary supplier will be established in parallel. Please utilize the outsourcing capability confirmation sheet.

We are not just a "subcontracted painting factory." Established in 1958, our company has a foundation of painting technology and also specializes in chemical treatment, stripping, and cleaning, functioning as the "external surface treatment department" in your organizational chart. Based on our philosophy of "preparation is eight-tenths of the work," we emphasize participation from the "upstream process" before the drawings are finalized. We conduct test painting on a wide range of metals and difficult materials, and we produce the entire process from assembly, packaging, to delivery, thereby reducing your management workload. Additionally, by being able to perform zinc phosphate treatment in-house, we achieve stable painting quality. Furthermore, our micro-heating stripping technology, which does not use chemicals, maintains the electrical state of the "jigs (hangers)" that influence painting quality. Our approach of "pre-treatment determines painting quality" ensures the stability of the paint film during mass production. Rather than simply "applying specified standards," we work backwards to achieve optimal painting specifications and prevent scratches during transportation, sparing no effort in thorough discussions from the outset. This diligent preparation is the shortest path to preventing rework and minimizing total costs. From the development stage, please utilize the expertise of our specialists as part of your production line.
